Thief Swipes Xbox 360, Leaves Xbox in its Place

A student at the University of Evanston discovered that his Xbox 360 had been stolen from a closet he had locked it in. As either a gesture of good will, a consolation prize or just for giggles, the thief left an original Xbox in its place.

That 360 should just RRoD on that thief. No joke.

Drekken5810d ago

haha, its just not right. Thieves are stupid... that console has most likely been on live and can be spotted the minute it is connect to the internet.

On a brighter note, the old xbox will probably last longer for this poor guy!

marinelife95810d ago

I was thinking the same thing. That guy better double pad lock his closet or he may get his 360 again with RROD and the original xbox stolen back.

jadenkorri5810d ago

the dudes in university, this could very well be just a prank pulled on him.. and considering if only 2 people have the key, and the lock was not tampered with, well logically its the other dude obviously, but it could be just a prank, i would laugh, as long as i got it back...but right now, looks to have gone too far already if he contacted police, and i know people who have pulled pranks that were funny, but not to the police when they were called...

If he's really determined to find out who the thief is he prolly could have that xbox dusted for fingerprints.

Silogon5810d ago

What a slap in the face. It'd be more disheartening if it was a 3d0 or Jaguar.

Drekken5810d ago

Road rash on 3DO rocked!! I enjoyed mine with the small amount of games I had :P

Skynetone5810d ago

i loaded it up about a mounth ago and said {WTF no f**king way was it this bad}

it had five jerky motions from a full left to a full right, the other bikes jerked a vision up the road, and for the oncoming cars, blink and you missed the two animations the oncoming cars had

it quickly got turned off, for another five years

Bladestar5810d ago

Did anyone considered the possibility that the console is probably pretending to be an original xbox? he should try to put an xbox 360 game in it and see if it works.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos8h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto7h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger886h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
